George had an appointment today at the podiatrist; we went to lunch first at Denny's (He chose) I think because it was in a shopping center. It was a quick lunch. We went to the Dr's after wards and then drove to Sugarhouse Park. There were a lot of ducks and geese there today. George walked up a hill by a tree, put his cane on one of the branches and was doing exercises ;) he layed down and rested for a bit. He said the weather was "Just right". He found a rock that we brought home from the park. When we came home he finished his lunch He's been eating really well lately. When I first came over, there were clothes on the living room floor. I asked him why they were there and he said he did his laundry. I asked him why they were on the floor and he said "cause I took them out of the dryer". He put them away. He's been doing a lot lately. Putting the dishes in the dishwasher and cleaning up after himself etc. It's nice to see that :)

Today was a really nice day, I suggested we go on a picnic to Silver Lake up at Brighton. We stopped at Harmon's first and got some lunch to take with us. George chose a sandwich, potato salad and cookies with sprinkles ;) We sat at a picnic table and ate lunch and then after wards we went around the lake. It was a really pretty day and the sun looked really pretty on the leaves. When we first got there we saw a man coming back from catching a fish. George said "Remember last time we were here, we saw a guy catch a fish."

Thanks Sharon for the back pack, it came in really handy!

Weight today was 89 lbs without shoes and BP was 131/70

It was a nice day today! George wanted to go up to the mountains to get more rocks “It’s just right up there” I asked him if he meant Snowbird, he said “Ya that’s the place!” He didn’t want to take his glass jar; he wanted to get a new one. I guess he wants to keep them all separate. I figure he will have enough rocks to last him through out the winter. Pamela (The girl at the shop) was there again today. She was the one that gave George the good deal last time ;) She came out and talked to him and watched him find more rocks. He found some really neat rocks this time. He said it was the best he’s gotten so far. I was asking him a question and he said “I know more about this than you do”. Oh really? ;) We had a late lunch (Blake fed him a donut and coffee before I got there) we went to the deli and got a sandwich to share, it was huge again! We ate outside. The leaves are looking so pretty in the mountains. :)
(I forgot my phone to take pics. I didn’t have it for a week and have gotten used to not having it with me all the time). Thanks for the Birthday gift George from Red Butte Gardens! ;)

I came over today, it was good to see George and hear about his week. Believe it or not it was really windy and rainy :/ I made lunch at home, showed George my pictures that I brought with me and showed him the pictures on my camera. He was glad I had a good time. I showed him some of the videos too. He liked them. We washed his rocks that Sharon brought back from the lake and added oil to them to make them shine (Great idea Sharon) He worked on one of his past projects a little bit too.
His weight today was 89 lbs. and his BP was about 118/70

Today I spent a little while making sure George had everything he needed for the week. I know Dennis and the boys will check and make sure too but I guess it’s a girl thing ;) Dennis had already given him some lunch. I was doing last minute errands and came over around 1:00, we were going to make his necklace but he decided he didn’t want to do that. We ended up going for a walk at the park (After I found George, he was doing laundry ;) ). We walked around the park and he saw a house that he said he should have “bought that one” we sat on the grass and enjoyed the weather. When we got home he got in the shower. (I wasn’t able to stay too long today).
His weight today was 88lbs. (Without shoes) and his BP was about 140/65
Have a great week!

We didn’t get out of the house til a little bit later today; George had to find his wallet. After we found it, he wanted to go to Mt. Fugi for lunch. (Its close too, he hadn’t had anything yet to eat). After lunch, we went to a bead store to ask about making him a bracelet with his favorite rock from Snowbird. We ended up going to Hobby Lobby and picking out some things for him to make a necklace on Friday. When he got home, he talked to Sharon on skype for a little bit. It was a cool and windy day today.

Today I am at home getting ready for my trip :) I will see George and everyone else tonight. It's Blake's Birthday today! Everyone is getting together and going out for dinner.

George had a check that he wanted to cash today. Tom and Fran were over the day before and he wanted the sushi for lunch that they brought over. We sat outside and had lunch. It was pretty warm today. We went to the store after lunch to cash his check. He saw his neighbor Linda there. He pointed "That's my neighbor" they talked for a little bit. My car registration is up so we just went for a drive around the Sandy neighborhoods. I didn’t want to get pulled over.
(Oh ya! Remember he lost his favorite cane? We looked all over and asked at the stores. The last time we were at the liquor store, the cashier that always helps George mentioned that she had it for him. Lol he said “That looks just like mine”).

When I came over today George had an idea of what he wanted to do! :) He was showing me some rocks and said he would like to “Go up to the mountains to that place and get some more rocks”. We went up to Snowbird and first stopped at the deli there and got a sandwich, it was huge! We shared one; he chose a turkey sandwich it was about 6inches thick! We ate outside and it was kind of cool and breezy (Good thing for the coffee). The girl at the shop told George he could have the large bag. (He was going to get the small one). She was really nice, giving him the large for the small price. She said "Since he really likes it he can have the big one" We bought another glass jar and he found a lot of big pretty rocks. There was a tourist that was there and wanted George to show him how to do it. He took a picture of him and his rocks.
It was nice and the weather warmed up. I forgot my phone to take pics :)

Today George was distracted so I took out the cards and he picked out two of them. We took them with us to remind him in case he forgot. We went to lunch at the sushi place on Highland Dr. (They changed the name, same owners). We then went to Sunset coffee afterwards and he said he didn’t want to go because he already had coffee. I showed him the cards that he picked and told him that’s what he chose and asked him to decide on something else. He had to go home first. I left a little afterwards.
